Arundel Castle Medieval Jousting

A medieval tournament at local Arundel Castle in West Sussex was an opportunity to occupy grandson
for a few hours and take a few photographs. Whilst colourful, it was very difficult to take decent snaps due to Health & Safety requirements - ropes and barriers, plus the presence of loudspeakers
and modern signs!Nevertheless it was a very interesting day and a tribute to the participants.
